A movie, some delicious food and Helen Mirren what more could a foodie want? I am so excited about the upcoming movie The Hundred-Foot Journey. Our recipe today is compliments of The 100 Foot Journey and LeCordon Bleu. Cheese, potatoes and cream equal heaven in a French comfort dish. Enjoy!
Gratin Dauphinois

Ingredients
- 1 1/2 Quarts milk
- Freshly grated nutmeg

combine the milk, freshly grated nutmeg, bouquet garni and garlic in medium sauce pan over medium heat. Leave it to infuse for 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, wash and peel the potatoes and then slice thinly about 1/8th inch. Do not rise the scratch is needed.
Layer the potato slices as tightly as possible in buttered dish and season each layer with salt and pepper.
Stir the cream into the hot milk then pour through a fine mesh sieve onto the potatoes. Let rest for 1 to 2 minutes. The potatoes will absorb the liquid and the peel will decreese.
